[MacDV] VCD Difficulties

To play it look for an app called "VLC", there might be others, but 
that's what I've used.  As for importing it, I don't know, as I don't 
mess with iMovie, and have never tried importing MPEG1 anyway.  Keep 
in mind that MPEG1 is the same resolution as a VHS tape, or in other 
words about half that of a DVD.
